Log introduced me to Elona years ago, played as a Fairy/Claymore and was untouchable with my crazy ass evasion and ability to stab like a convict. Remember having a Golden Bell, Little Girl and another girl in my party of chicks and infesting the main town with the king and plot with a Chess King, which spawned shitloads of enemies in the area outside the castle or at lease where the important plot point was as well as some scattered all over the town. Never could continue the plot after that, so I just went and worked on getting a Little Cat Sister.

Tales of Maj'Eyal, pure end-game stuff, pure ass kickery and some close calls, but them crits and lightning mods. I'm running with +56% Lightning Penetration, +40% Lightning Damage, 200% Crit Damage and upwards of 60% Spell crits. I cannot get enough of how sweet it is against crowds.

After setting up an orb and having a flaming buffed up ass-kicking shitkicker of a scrotum punching demon who can easily and without a doubt kick my ass with no chance of survival or any reasonable chance of winning, I teleported away and tackled the final Pride, which had the douchiness to have a few Anti-Magic, Mana Clash using bastards. If my mana drops to zero, I'm fucked. 8 Sustains and having my carrying capacity reliant on another sustain and the fact that with all that crap Mana Clash takes off 40% of the total and if shit looks like it's getting real I use the Time Shield + Aegis combo that knocks off about 110 Mana, or a fat 20%, initial attacks... it's a risky business. But I am glad that the boss for the zone wasn't an Anti-Magic user. That would not have been fun.

Slime Tunnels, where that buffed up sonnova bitch is lying in wait to kick my ass, but I got Dispel Magic, which was worth investing in Meta for that alone, for that exact moment where he sends me to the Fearscape. To nullify that, makes spending a category point completely and utterly worth it, regardless of it's rarity.

And with 800 more gold, I can get a third pimped out item, this time a hat. That Aegis Tree bonus is pretty worthwhile but a new hat! Decked with stats! Or a new ring, but something with stun resistance.

Maybe I can start on Inquisitor after this, or play as a Reaver. Dual-wielding axes like a badass. Or dual-wielding swords. Dual-wielding anything that doesn't require two hands, power fueled by wanton murder, it's a good class.

Call of Duty GhostsI'd really like to know why I bought this game. I don't even really like Call of Duty. No matter how much I play it I can't get any better. It took me like three days on Halo to get to a point where I can actually get more than 15 kills consistently, but on CoD? lol nahI guess it was either CoD or Battlefield and I'll drink a radioactive bleach and ammonia cocktail before I give EA money for one of their bullshit "access codes" they make you buy to play online with a used game.

You do realize EA stopped online passes last year, right? And EA isn't the only company to have had them either, there have been plenty others to have online passes. Also, Battlefield 4 is fantastic. The whole "Lol EA sux" circlejerk is getting kinda tiresome. The only reason people are flipping shit over the whole Dungeon Keeper thing is because EA made it.

So after spending most of the weekend preloading it, I played the new Thief right after I got home from work last night. Within two hours I was back to playing DCU Online trying to grind for a couple of rare style drops I'm still after.

So... yea... not super impressed with Thief so far so here's a dump of my initial impressions.

Linear as fuck so far and along with that the prologue was painfully annoying. Here's an unlikeable character, now spend forty minutes hanging out with her. I also hate the new voice of Garrett. Seriously hate it. The graphics are decent but not amazing, certainly not at the same level as Tomb Raider (which I call out because it's another Squeenix game), or even Far Cry 3 though for some reason the benchmark for Thief ran much slower and my CPU SRCREAMS at this game. Like I got Far Cry 3 to make my CPU throw up a heat warning on a hot day after a couple hours of play time. Thief? It made my CPU puke out the next level heat warning ON THE MENU SCREEN, so I have to assume it's not optimized for PC terribly well. I do like the little touches of looting, methodically searching drawers, feeling for hidden switches behind painting frames, the lock picking isn't terrible. The checkpoint save system is neat (if you hide undetected in certain lockers/cabinets/closets you get a checkpoint save.) It has potential and it might get better later. I certainly hope it gets better later. But for now I'm pretty saddened that they put the Thief name on this product.
